      Previously one cylinder was giving zero - and it
      was an electrical problem.

Okay, I must know.  How does an electrical problem relate to compression
readings, other than a weak battery not being able to spin the motor when
doing the test?  Sure, a bad ignition system may make the car *behave* as if
it had a cylinder with a hole in it, but compression readings depend on the
integrity of the cylinders, pistons, rings, head, head gasket and valves.
Where does an electrical element come into play?
